Looks like Alphonso, though it is late in the year for it.

I fond most of the mangoes sold here in UK is Alphanso from Pakistan and India. Though I like dusheri (with thin seeds), other varieties like kesari , langda?, bombaiya?? seems to be rare in north India, and of course those small mangoes only for "sucking".

Describe the taste and flavour please Tim so many mangoes look like this. It probably is an Alphonso or Chausa, but there are 100s of varieties between Pakistan and India, difficult to be sure. I don't even know 25 % of the varieties!

Yes, I know - unfair question - but so is yours, Mamta!

Taste? How does one describe it, not being an aficianado. And they are past their best.

All one an say is that they seem more delicate & flowery than the usual Alfonsoes, with just an occasional hint of turps.

A lovely addition to the chicken curry today. And tonight with cream & Shredded Wheat!!!

can't work out the size, but it has a similar appearance to what is known around here as 'Honey mango'. Has a touch of turps flavour.
